NANNUP could be the next in a long list of shires to declare itself GM free in the wake of the proposed lifting of the moratorium on GM crops in WA. Currently 14 shires have declared themselves GM-free zones, including the Shire of Boyup Brook, which made its declaration on March 16, 2000. [...] ”Although the declaration has no legal status, it is a reflection of the strong concerns the community has on the long term safety aspects of GMOs,” Mr Ginnane said at the time.
